The Biggest Leapers in This Year's NBA Rookie Class

The 2014 NBA draft is in the history books, and it's time to start figuring out exactly what your favorite team added to the roster on June 26.

Among the 60 players chosen were injury risks, sleeper picks and sliders. There was also a unique crop of athletes, gifted with the ability to jump about two-thirds my body height, guaranteeing plenty of lobs in the NBA's future.

Oddly, four of the five biggest leapers were taken within 11 picks of each other in the second round. Two went to the same team! Let's see who they are as well as how they measured out in the May combine.

Nick Johnson, Houston Rockets (No. 42)

A compact combo guard with a 6'7" wingspan, Nick Johnson will help Patrick Beverley hound defenders on the perimeter for Houston.

He's also a sensational athlete, a talent passed down and cultivated by an older generation of Johnsons.

The 6'4" guard inherited the genetic part from his dad, “Jumpin’” Joey Johnson. Joey was a playground legend who could dunk on a regulation rim at 12 years old and had a 52-inch vertical as an Arizona State player.

Uncle Dennis Johnson, a nine-time member of the NBA All-Defensive team and a five-time All-Star, helped funnel that physical ability into translatable basketball skills.

Drafted by the Minnesota Timberwolves with the No. 40 pick, Robinson is sure to fit in with Ricky Rubio, Kevin Love (if he's still around) and the fast-paced transition offense they like to play. DraftExpress' Matt Kamalsky praised him as a "highlight waiting to happen as a finisher with great speed and quickness."

Judging by the video above, he will soon compete with Corey Brewer for most outlet-pass dunks.

Markel Brown, Brooklyn Nets (No. 44)

Dubbed the Mayor of LobStilly while playing at Oklahoma State University, Markel Brown earned his nickname flooding the SportsCenter Top 10 with dunk after glorious dunk.

While the explosive 6'3" guard has worked to improve the other aspects of his game, Brown can't get enough of the rush that comes with a big-time flush. Here's what he told The Oklahoman's John Helsley:

When I do one of those dunks, immediately I get tweets saying, ‘Markel's going to be on SportsCenter.' Things like that. I like doing those type of dunks. It's exciting. It gets the crowd pumped up. It gets my teammates some hype.

His 43.5-inch max vertical leap tied Carson for tops at the combine, and NBADraft.net gave him a perfect 10 in athleticism, calling him "highly explosive."

He seems to have found the perfect NBA comparison:

On a conference call, #Nets second round pick Markel Brown said he tries to pattern his game after Russell Westbrook. Tries to attack rim.
